SUBMERGIBLE SYSTEM FOR EXPLOITING THE ENERGY OF MARINE CURRENTS

摘要

The system has a propeller with multiple blades for driving an electric generator. The blades are located in a central dome and positioned in a perpendicular plane to a rotor axis. Rotational torque and moment of inclination hydrostatically offset to each other due to distribution of weights and flotation devised. An assembly of arms and floats is ballasted and emptied with a view to change a vertical submerged position to a horizontal position. The assembly is secured to bottom by a system of anchoring cables.
